Evans is the kind of guy to book his own ticket to a war zone and hope he gets paid for his reporting afterward. I have no idea if he’s ever done that, but he has that vibe. As others said, I think he’s a “journalist”, in a positive way.
edit: he did a whole series about Syria, way way before recent developments. “The Women’s War”. and Jake Hanrahan. I remember they paid a driver who kept giving them terrible cigarettes.
Behind the Bastards is great! It’s like The Dollop but for the worst people in history.
Coolzone media is all fantastic.
For current events there’s It Could Happen Here and Executive Disorder (sub series of ICHH, weekly analysis of Trump admin)
He did a lot of coverage of the protests back in 2020 in Portland.
He’s also an amazing author: After The Revolution (fictional sci-fi American civil war, free to listen audiobook on the link) and his older A Brief History Of Vice (he talks about historic drug use and personally tries out all the weird ways people did drugs, very funny)
They did address this recently. They’re not particularly happy with it either but their previous company got bought. iHeart doesn’t seem like it has much interest in meddling with CZM’s work in any case. They bring in enough ad revenue.
If you’re truly bothered and want leftist political pods with no corporate platforms then there’s always the channel zero network. They have a lot of fun stuff!
Who is this guy to have known several warlords? My guess is he’s either a glowie or a journalist.
Edit: Survey says journalist! Thank you to everyone who answered.
To this guy’s point, yeah, it’s hilarious that Elon fancies himself a survivor.
Journalist https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Evans_(journalist)
Yeah, so not only is he a journalist, he’s effectively a specialist on warlords and the far right.
Robert Evans does Behind the Bastards podcast, and has also reported on conflicts in Iraq, Ukraine, and Rojava, amongst lots of other things.

He’s literally done that before and been shot at by Isis snipers as part of it.
i do remember him trying to downplay it

It’s good, but I don’t like that it’s a brand under iHeartRadio, which changed their name from the more infamous Clear Channel Communications.
If there’s a bastard in radio, it’s definitely Clear Channel.

This guy is Robert Evans, world famous podcaster of Behind The Bastards fame.

He might just live in or near a very particular region of Africa or perhaps the middle eastern mountains.
